Dear Joe… Your first year’s been a
total disaster and you’re sleepwalking
into re-electing Trump
Posted By: Garnet, 1/19/2022 2:13:48 PM
Dear Joe, Happy Anniversary. Can we get a divorce? Sorry if this isn’t the most effusive of messages as you celebrate your first year in office as President of the United States. But I fear it’s exactly what many disillusioned Americans, including some who voted for you, are now thinking. I don’t like to sugar-coat things, so let me be blunt: You’ve been a disaster. In fact, it’s hard to think of a more insipid, less inspiring, fiasco-ridden opening 12 months to a presidency. Nor one that has so spectacularly failed to deliver on the promises made at an inauguration ceremony.

There’s been a rather weird dance going on among Democratic elected officials around the country this winter in terms of how to frame their message in terms of COVID mandates. It seems to have slowly dawned on them that people are fed up with both the pandemic and the restrictions that have been imposed on them, with significant majorities of people just wanting life to “get back to normal.” But at the same time, many officials are frightened out of their wits that they will be blamed if they “don’t do enough” and even a single additional person dies from COVID.
The border gets worse and worse
16 replies
These days, the Biden White House talks a lot about the border. At press briefings, there are many questions about the border. But it's the Russia-Ukraine border. Meanwhile, the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is deteriorating daily.
Two new developments. One, we are learning more about the administration's covert effort to relocate thousands of illegal border-crossers — single, adult males, not families — into the nation's interior. We'll talk about that today. And tomorrow, the second development — new information about the changing makeup of the thousands of people crossing the border illegally each month.
First, the relocation effort.
Biden’s Inert COVID-19 Strategy
5 replies
A growing number of public health experts have recommended that the Biden administration update its COVID-19 strategy. It is increasingly obvious that an approach based on the President’s pledge to “shut down the virus” will fail. The emerging consensus among epidemiologists is that elimination of the virus is unlikely and that it will probably evolve into an endemic malady, like influenza, that circulates in the population at a relatively manageable level. This consensus has been largely ignored by the Biden administration because updating its approach to COVID-19 would mean relinquishing the political power associated with the perpetual “public health emergency,” and replacing several incompetent public health advisors.

State' Claim 9 replies
We’re into week two of the Glenn Youngkin administration in red Virginia, and so far they’ve demonstrated a commitment to fulfilling their campaign pledges to put parents first in the state when it comes to their children’s education. They’ve also undertaken the arduous task of undoing the damage “woke” policies implemented by former Democrat Govs. Ralph Northam and Terry McAuliffe did to the state.Naturally, this has triggered The Usual Suspects on the left and in the media, including CNN’s Jim Acosta, who was deeply fauxfended by the email tip line set up by Gov. Youngkin for parents to report problems with their school districts. In fact, Acosta was so upset
The Voters Don’t Care About ‘Biden’s Agenda’

Imagine you have just emerged from a 20-year coma and decide to catch up on current affairs by perusing the news stories offered by the major media. You could easily conclude that the nation’s most urgent problem is saving something called “Biden’s agenda.” You would find countless headlines such as the following from NBC News: “White House plots public reset as Biden’s agenda flails.” Or this from CNN: “Democrats at a loss over path to enact Biden agenda.” Yet when your family appears at your bedside to congratulate you on your recovery, they will respond to your questions about this crisis with puzzled expressions and questions about your medication.
During the course of the madness that promoted “defunding” or abolishing the police, there was an emphasis placed on replacing police in some circumstances with “community safety” workers who would supposedly act as unarmed “violence interrupters” and reduce the number of lethal use of force incidents by police officers. In Baltimore, Maryland’s violent gang territories, an existing organization known as the “Safe Streets Program” gained a lot of attention and municipal support in this effort. The goal of the program is to deploy former gang members (or “former”) into areas controlled by the gangs to negotiate nonviolent resolutions to conflicts.
Just the fact that the Associated Press and NORC and Morning Consult asked this question in their latest polls should send up red flares for the White House. The response should have sirens blaring all over the West Wing, especially since this survey took place before President Minor Incursion spoke yesterday at his presser.More Americans disapprove than approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, 56% to 43%. As of now, just 28% of Americans say they want Biden to run for reelection in 2024, including only 48% of Democrats. …
It’s a stark reversal from early in Biden’s presidency.
“Let’s not conflate issues,” Kamala Harris scolds Savannah Guthrie, as the VP desperately attempts to avoid the real issue Joe Biden created yesterday. The NBC host of Today asked Harris a very simple question. Biden sounded a lot like Donald Trump — and Stacey Abrams and Hillary Clinton, too — in his presser yesterday when he claimed that the midterms this year “easily could be illegitimate.”“It’s just astonishing” to hear that rhetoric from Biden, Guthrie declares, perhaps especially after hearing lectures over the past year from the administration that questioning elections is a form of insurrection. So does Harris agree that the midterms may now be considered illegitimate

Dear Joe,
Happy Anniversary.
Can we get a divorce?
Sorry if this isn’t the most effusive of messages as you celebrate your first year in office as President of the United States.
But I fear it’s exactly what many disillusioned Americans, including some who voted for you, are now thinking.
I don’t like to sugar-coat things, so let me be blunt: You’ve been a disaster.
In fact, it’s hard to think of a more insipid, less inspiring, fiasco-ridden opening 12 months to a presidency.
Nor one that has so spectacularly failed to deliver on the promises made at an inauguration ceremony.
This is not a news flash: Modern Democrats are addicted to the blame game.
When they aren’t pointing fingers at Donald Trump, Republicans and the pandemic for everything that goes wrong under the sun, they pick on banks, oil companies and even supermarkets to explain soaring prices on consumer goods.
Big Banks, Big Oil and now Big Grocery have bull’s-eyes on them. Next in line are the amorphous supply chains, which are appealing targets precisely because they are faceless and nameless. Nobody rises to defend supply chains.
Yet despite the Herculean efforts to create villains
Democrats Bemoan Biden Failures
14 replies
Joe Biden resides in the White House because the Democratic Party’s warring factions declared a temporary truce in 2020, each expecting to dictate his agenda after the election. And, while the party’s left wing has exercised considerable sway over Biden’s policies, its members obviously overestimated their ability to ameliorate the effects of his congenital incompetence. After a year in office the Biden administration has produced precious few successes and a predictably long list of failures. This has reopened hostilities between the radical and moderate wings of the Democratic Party, and their base is deeply demoralized as the November midterms loom ominously on the horizon.
President Biden’s “voting rights” speech in Atlanta has been widely criticized for dishonesty and demagoguery, but its real significance involves what it told us about the increasing panic that pervades the Democratic Party. Biden’s sudden pivot from the Build Back Better Act (BBB) to “election reform” betrays a very real fear that his party will lose its tiny majorities in Congress unless they seize control of our national elections. For well over two centuries the states have played the primary role in the administration of congressional elections. Yet Biden and the Democrats now insist that this time-tested system somehow constitutes a threat to democracy itself.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is dropping anchor in South Carolina as he prepares to mount a 2024 White House bid.
Pence is headed back to the Palmetto State in April and May as part of a deliberate strategy to build support with conservative activists and Republican operatives in the state that hosts the third primary on the GOP nominating calendar — and first in the South. Leading this effort is the plugged-in national Republican strategist Chip Saltsman as well as Josh Kimbrell, a state senator described as an “ambassador” for Pence in South Carolina, with other party insiders quietly assisting.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke out against a growing truck convoy of vaccine mandate protesters at the nation’s capital on Monday, claiming Canadians are “disgusted” by their behavior.Trudeau released the post on Twitter just hours after announcing he had tested positive for COVID-19.“I know this pandemic is frustrating. It’s frustrating that, after two years, we’re not done fighting COVID-19. But over the past few days, Canadians have been shocked – and, frankly, disgusted – by the behaviour displayed by some people protesting in our nation’s capital,” the prime minister wrote.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is taking a “hiatus” from the network, according to a Monday report from Business Insider.
Maddow is expected to announce her hiatus to viewers of “The Rachel Maddow Show” tonight, according to Business Insider. The host will reportedly step away from her show to instead focus on movie and podcast productions.
Maddow’s hiatus is expected to start Feb. 7, Business Insider reported. The break is expected to be temporary and Maddow will still appear for coverage of special events, according to the outlet.
President Biden said Monday that his administration is committed to improving the border crisis by trying to "figure out" why migrants are leaving their home countries for the U.S. in the first place.
"We’re working a lot with neighboring countries. A lot to do," Biden said during a meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris and the National Governors Association (NGA) at the White House. "I think one of the fundamental things we've got to do in addition to some of the changes we'll make, which we won’t get into it today, is that if we figure out why they're leaving in the first place," the president continued.

Holocaust wasn’t about race: ‘These
are two White groups’ 32 replies
ABC’s "The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared the Holocaust was "not about race" despite the systematic killing of an estimated six million Jews, leading to sharp criticism of the outspoken liberal. The daytime gabfest was in the midst of a conversation about a Tennessee school district voting to remove a Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust from its curriculum due to "inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman. "Maus" by Art Spiegelman tells the story of his Jewish parents living in 1940s Poland and depicts him interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor.
Vice President Kamala Harris came within yards of a pipe bomb during last year’s US Capitol riot–and was inside the Democratic National Committee building for about two hours before the device was discovered, according to a new report. Several sources told CNN that Harris drove just a short distance away from the explosive, which was lying next to a bench outside the DNC on Jan. 6, 2021. Her motorcade pulled into the headquarters garage about 11:30 a.m. and stopped at the parking deck near where the bomb was later discovered, according to the network. It has previously been reported that Harris was inside the DNC headquarters
San Quentin death row - where California's most macabre and twisted killers were once caged - is being shuttered and converted into a 'positive, healing environment.'The prison ward is seeped in dark history dating back to March 3, 1893 when the first of 215 prisoners was hung. It has since housed notorious murderers including Charles Manson, Richard 'the night stalker' Ramirez, and William Bonin, a serial killer who killed at least 21 young men and boys.It's the current home of Scott Peterson, who was sentenced to death in 2005 for the murder of his wife Laci and their unborn son.
Albany—An upstate district attorney’s office is dropping its criminal investigation of sexual harassment allegations against Andrew Cuomo—shutting down the last of five criminal cases involving the disgraced ex-governor. But Oswego DA Gregory Oakes told The Post on Monday that while there’s not “sufficient legal basis” to bring charges based on allegations of unwanted physical contact by accuser Virginia Limmiatis, “this decision is not an exoneration.” “After a thorough review of the available evidence and applicable law, the Oswego County District Attorney’s Office has concluded that there is not a sufficient legal basis to bring criminal charges against former Governor Andrew Cuomo based upon the allegations of unwanted
White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked media outlets who focused on the consequences of 'soft-on-crime' policies during a surge in violence across the country and said some coverage is from an 'alternate universe'.
Psaki was speaking about a Fox News segment during an appearance on the Pod Save America podcast last week when she questioned what 'soft-on-crime consequence' even means and insisted Americans care 'more about what’s happening in their lives than what’s necessarily happening in every cable news chyron'.
Veteran, 76-year-old rocker Neil Young was bad enough. Seventy-eight-year-old Joni Mitchell soon followed. In yet another “devastating blow,” 71-year-old Peter Frampton came next. Oh noes, how will Spotify survive?
But now, in what might prove to be the death blow to Spotify, the ex-royals of ex-royals — attention-craving Harry and Meghan — have announced that they too will join the Joe Rogan protest and boycott the audio streaming and media services provider. But first a bit of background.
The left has long accused Rogan, host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” — the most popular podcast in the world in 2021— of spreading COVID “misinformation” and “anti-vaccination rhetoric,”
Libby was convicted in 2007 of obstruction of justice and other crimes related to a leak of the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson. The conviction was widely viewed as a miscarriage of justice, especially because Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage later admitted that he was the likely source of the leak, not Libby. President George W. Bush commuted Libby’s sentence, but despite the urging of then-Vice President Cheney, he declined to issue a formal pardon for his aide.
It was only Trump who pardoned Libby in 2018, taking the political heat for doing so and standing up for Libby’s record of public service.
Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Johnson and most decidedly not Jewish), de-Judaized the Holocaust, a strikingly antisemitic act. After a deserved uproar, she apologized but that’s not good enough. Just as Sharon Osborne and Roseanne Barr got fired for offending racial shibboleths, Goldberg needs to go.
Goldberg a staple on The View, a show in which several inane left-wing women loudly opine about the issues of the day, dismissed the Holocaust as a uniquely Jewish event and, essentially said that a lot of people died during World War II
